A. It is completely normal for a 1-month, 15-day-old baby to pass stool every alternate day, and watery stools are typical for newborns, especially if they are exclusively breastfed. Breastfed babies often have irregular bowel movements because breast milk is easily digestible, leaving very little waste. Some babies may pass stool multiple times a day, while others may go once every few days, and both patterns are generally normal as long as the baby seems comfortable and is feeding well. Watery stools are also common in this age group, as newborn stools tend to be loose, soft, or seedy in consistency. However, if your baby shows signs of dehydration (such as a dry mouth, reduced urination, or lethargy), or if the stool is excessively watery, frothy, or contains mucus or blood, it’s best to consult your pediatrician for further evaluation.
